Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but this product is a 10 mg melatonin supplement, not a calcium supplement. Data on this specific melatonin product is limited. For general calcium, our assessment is that it supports bone mineralization and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It helps your body maintain bone density and supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for this specific 10 mg melatonin product. For calcium, you should not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Always separate calcium supplements from thyroid or antibiotic medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
